Sabalenka survives Siegemund scare
Cape Times
|July 09, 2025
WORLD No 1 Aryna Sabalenka fought back from the brink of a shock Wimbledon exit to reach the semifinals with a gutsy 4-6, 6-2, 6-4 victory over Germany's Laura Siegemund on Tuesday.
-
Sabalenka twice trailed by a break in the final set on Centre Court and was just two games from defeat before staging a stirring revival to win in two hours and 54 minutes of relentless tension.
The 27-year-old Belarusian is into the semifinals at the All England Club for the third time, having previously fallen at that stage in 2021 and 2023.
Beaten in the Australian and French Open finals earlier this year after claiming the 2024 US Open crown, Sabalenka remains on track to contest a fourth consecutive Grand Slam final.
She will face either American 13th seed Amanda Anisimova or Russian world number 50 Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova for a place in Saturday's showpiece.
